Thrilled to share my published research with @fionaw0000. We used a vicarious contact strategy to enhance willingness to engage with sexual and gender minorities. This research lays a critical foundation for future prejudice reduction efforts. 🌈 https://t.co/8tBwD9JDfs

How we screen mental health in primary schools matters. When children completed symptom checks before stigma in the classroom, an initial increase in stigma was observed https://t.co/rLaHbREwYT. Let’s design screening that supports, not stigmatizes. #MentalHealth @blackdoginst

New paper led by the wonderful @melissaaji! We reviewed measures of sleep-related fears in children. 💤 Findings show a need for more rigorous, comprehensive tools to better identify and treat these fears in kids. https://t.co/EWCj0vNPcy

From now on, when asked for my PhD elevator pitch, I’ll just refer you to this link (half joking). A paradigm shift is overdue in how we conceptualise sexual minority groups. Bisexuals are well placed to lead this shift. In this essay, I explore just that.
